continent settings on classic map

Concise description:
  • England is made it's own seperate continent.
  • Other map corrections.

Specifics:
  • England should be worth 5 armies to whoever holds it. Defending dice also get a bonus of +1 because of our wonderfully strategic location in the sea.
  • Whoever holds this new English continent should be able to invade any location on the map they wish from England, due to our amazingly mobile and superbly trained army and navy.
  • Failing this, delete Ireland from the area entitled 'Great Britain'. Northern Ireland is part of the UK, not Great Britain (which is England, Wales and Scotland), and the Republic of Ireland is not part of Great Britain or the UK, as the IRA would so happily confirm. Therefore INNACURACY, I rest my case your honour.
  • The Middle East should be made a part of N. America rather than Asia (mega lol).
  • Western Europe should be renamed 'The Lazy Part of Europe'.
  • A naval base should be created in the Indian Ocean, linking Western Australia to East Africa and India. This would be really strategic and also really fun and mega cool.
  • Anywhere that hasn't existed since the 19th century (e.g. Siam and the Ural) should be renamed or removed from the map and replaced with sea.
  • I would also recommend that Japan and Madagascar be removed from the map, due to the hassle of having to occupy such useless countries in order to gain a bonus.
  • This map could be called Classic 2, so that the original classic map can be retained for old time's sake.
  • As well as the continent bonus list, you could also have a league table of how wonderful each seperate country is. This could go.
    England
    Hot places like Ibiza
    Holland
    Colombia and anywhere else that grows drugs
    Iceland
    N. America
    The shitty poor areas
    France

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • The classic map will become much more pleasing to the eye, as the world's truly mighty country will be recognised (England), and the world's more useless and ineffective countries will be suitably brushed over.
  • This will create a fun and interesting variant on the traditional Classic map.
  • Different countries in the world can finally learn their rightful place (either bowing down to England or at the bottom of the sea).

Classic Map will never be changed. Ever. You were here when the army circle colors were changed. You saw the uproar then. This, just like putting Greenland in Europe (Link) will never happen. As someone in the other thread stated, if you want that change, make a new map and call it Classic 1.1 or something.

The cartographers probably will not bring a 10 foot paintbrush anywhere near that map right now. lack did not give away the name of the person who coded the last change for fear of retribution, and that was not even the person who made the suggestion, just the person who implemented the change.

Other than that, I cannot tell if you are trying to be funny and failing or trying to be serious.

Albertq, be serious with suggestions and don't spam. :roll: :roll:

I was looking for something halfway serious when I clicked on this.

Make your own "modern day world" map for this, and it would be a good idea. But for classic, it's absurd. Mods, merge this with the new map ideas thread.
